Since Trump decided to pull us out of the Paris climate accord leftists have pretty much gone ballistic.
It's really a non-binding agreement that other countries could use as a cudgel to beat us over the head with to extort taxpayer money and hobble our economy so my opinion is good deal.
Anyway here's some over the top drama queen reactions.
THE 11 DUMBEST REACTIONS TO TRUMP QUITTING THE PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD [UPDATED!]
Seems like their reaction to everything is,"WE'RE DOOMED!!!!!" and, "DAMN YOU DONALD TRUMP!!!".

Politics killed Comedy
Tucker Carlson has a point here I mean I have to think back for decades to remember a really funny comedian.
It's pretty predictable nowadays, attack Trump run the laugh track then repeat endlessly night after night.
Plenty of comedians skewered politicians in the past and it was funny because they would find humour in their policies or personality quirks. But repeating the same old mantra of racist, fascist, narcissist ad nauseum can only go so far.
I guess it's too much to ask that we go back to a time when comedians really put an effort into making people laugh instead of making political statements.
One of the shortest comedy careers that I know of was Vaughn Meader, he had an act that depended on JFK's administration and when he was assassinated the guy faded away as far as I know.
But he was funny and not the least bit vile.
No one tried to make comedy from Kennedy's assassination because no matter who you were or your politics it would have been considered in very poor taste. I'm not so sure that is the case nowadays.
In this era comedy seems to be based on the possibility.
What's funny about that?

Sununu challenges CNN........
.....to identify the veniality.
OK I'll admit I had to look up Veniality and somehow that definition doesn't seem to apply as well as the definition of Venality does.
He's correct that there has been no indication or proof.

the condition or quality of being venal; openness to bribery or corruption.Which would be more correct as to the hopeful allegations being made by the democrat owned media.

Kathy Griffin, just another media whore
Whelp now that the well deserved cycle of "artistic" defiance, desperate justification, then boot-licking apology has elapsed over the last 24 hours for Kathy Griffin we can reflect on the true reasons the whole episode transpired.
Griffin, like all desperate celebrities, is really just a simple media whore.
It was all about getting attention by latching onto the new "trendy" activity among leftists which is "the resistance". The goal wasn't art or comedy or to even make a political statement the goal was to receive accolades from the liberal media to get publicity for being "edgy".
But the truth is if she, or any number of has beens, could gain an advantage by being seen with Trump they wouldn't hesitate.
Partisanship never gets in the way of the bottom line for these folks, she took a shot and it shot back. People need to realize that those in the media and those who try to use the media are not on anyone's "side" except their own and they will use and manipulate each other for their own ends.
So don't expect this kind of foolishness to end.

Stuart Smalley goes butch
Apparently Al Franken, Minnesota's fighting senator, went medieval on a protester.
AL FRANKEN KNOCKS DOWN DEAN HECKLER
But that's the state of journalism these days, if a republican does it it's a horrible act of violence. If a progressive liberal does it it's a heroic defense of free speech.
AL FRANKEN KNOCKS DOWN DEAN HECKLER
EXETER, N.H. – Wise-cracking funnyman Al Franken yesterday body-slammed a demonstrator to the ground after the man tried to shout down Gov. Howard Dean.No word yet on whether he's being charged with assault like Greg Gianforte, as a matter of fact I doubt this will get anywhere near the media.
The tussle left Franken’s trademark thick-rim glasses broken, but he said he was not injured.
Franken – who seemed in a state of shock and out of breath after the incident – was helped back to his feet by several people who watched the tussle. Police arrived soon after.
“I got down low and took his legs out,” said Franken afterwards.~snip~

Not a lot of sympathy for the media
I'm going to leave judgment about this incident to the courts but the reality is I think a lot of people have felt the same frustration for the prissy elitist media.
There are a few times in my life where I wouldn't have minded slapping the shit out of a couple of the talking heads in the media.Montana Voters Are Supportive Of Congressional Candidate Body Slamming A Reporter
Several Montana voters like that Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte body slammed a Guardian reporter, according to local reports.There maybe more than a few as the article states, anyway if he loses then the media will crow about how they "got" him.
Gianforte threw down reporter Ben Jacobs to the ground at a campaign event Wednesday night. This came the day before a special election in Montana where Gianforte has held a solid lead in the polls over Democrat Rob Quist.
The Montana Republican was charged with misdemeanor assault by local police, but has denied Jacob’s version of the incident, saying that the reporter was aggressive and grabbed him by the wrist.
MSNBC political correspondent Garrett Haake tweeted Thursday that a Gianforte voter told him, “I think reporters have it coming.” Haake tweeted yesterday that he told a gas station clerk about the incident and she replied, “My kind of politician.”~snip~
If he wins then they'll cry about being victims.
An eyeball just fell down into my lap
I knew someone years ago who actually needed an abortion. A woman who was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive type of cancer and happened to be a couple of months pregnant at the time.
It was so advanced and so aggressive that it was recommended that she begin chemo right away and even still she passed about 5 months later.I never felt the need to condemn someone who has to choose between possibly living and losing a baby.
There was no joy on her part surrounding the whole thing.
But this and other very rare and extreme examples don't justify or make it right. People who revel in the carnage cheapen the seriousness and sadness of the rare instances of medical necessary abortion.
A shocking new undercover video exposes the grisly reality of ripping apart fetuses.
A shocking new video has just been released by the Center for Medical Progress, the undercover investigative group that in 2015 released videos showing that Planned Parenthood affiliates have profited from selling the body parts of aborted babies.The video in the article at the link shows the stark reality of slaughter for profit with the callousness and laughter of those who make their living butchering the unborn.
This latest video is a preview of footage that CMP investigators gathered at the 2014 and 2015 National Abortion Federation conventions, attended by hundreds of members of the abortion industry each year. (The NAF is a major trade group of North American abortion providers, and Planned Parenthood makes up about 50 percent of its members and leadership.)~snip~
